in Concentrated Solar Thermal Power

OUR PRODUCTS AND BENEFITS

Microporous products

Promat HPI offers a wide range of microporous products ideally suited

to the CSP market comprising rigid and flexible panels and moulded

pipe sections.

All our microporous products have a thermal conductivity that is close

to the lowest theoretically possible across all temperatures right up

to 1200°C making them at least 4 to 5 times better performing then any

conventional insulation material at 1000°C.

The unbeatable performance of microporous insulation results in a number

of benefits including:

• Reduced thickness of insulation.

• Reduced insulation weight.

• The possibility to save space.

• The possibility to increase the internal capacity of an assembly.

• Reduction of heat loss resulting in energy savings.

High temperature modules (SCUTTHERM®)

SCUTTHERM® modules are high temperature resistant composite panels

used for heat shielding on solar towers.

SCUTTHERM® modules offer some very important properties and

characteristics:

• Good thermal surface resistance up to 1600°C

• High resistance to solar radiation

• High solar absorbance

• High UV absorbance

Since the start of the industrial revolution our dependence on fossil fuels has steadily polluted

our world. Greenhouse gasses, acid rain, and smog are all aspects of man made pollution.

Today, the global focus is away from dwindling fossil fuel reserves and towards sustainable

and renewable energy sources.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is probably one of the most attractive technologies to help and achieve the targets set for producing

sustainable energy because of the unlimited solar energy reserves available in the sunny regions of the world.

Promat HPI delivers insulation solutions for all Concentrated Solar Power technologies. We supply innovative systems for parabolic trough

and solar tower applications and we are also actively involved in the solar dish and linear fresnel technologies. Promat R&D consistently

introduce new state-of-the-art and cost effective engineered solutions. In addition, we also offer a product range that can be used as heat

shielding for the area surrounding the solar receiver of a solar tower.

OUR ACTIVITIES IN CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER

Solar tower CSP systems

In recent years, several EPC companies & technology providers have

developed different types of solar towers. For each different approach,

a solar tower system comprises multiple stages each of which can ben-

efi t from a Promat HPI engineered insulation solution.

These stages include:

• Solar receiver

• Heat storage vessels.

• Distribution piping to and from the receiver

• Hot air lines.

• Outside heat shield.

• Protection to cavity of the receiver area.

Microporous product such as MICROTHERM® PANEL, MICROTHERM®

OVERSTITCHED and MICROTHERM® MPS are widely used to insulate

both volumetric and cylindrical receivers, hot boxes protecting pipes and

valves connected to the receiver, and distribution piping in the solar tower.

Microporous products offer excellent performance even at elevated

pressures and in atmospheres other than air.

For one project, Promat HPI delivered ALSIFLEX® refractory ceramic

wools and modules that were used to insulate the heat storage vessels

and the hot air lines. The main advantages of these lightweight RCF

wools are the very low density resulting in lightweight linings, and the

superior thermal shock resistance.

Promat HPI combines a vast product range with unmatched technical

service and engineering capabilities. Our involvment from the project

beginning at the design stage ensures that we are able to provide the

most efficient and cost effective insulation solution.

External heat shielding to solar tower

SCUTTHERM® are composite panels that are used in the design

of engineered, custom made thermal heat shields. They are

assembled as modules for fast and simple installation and can

easily be fi xed to either a metal structure or to the concrete wall

of the solar tower itself, directly above and/or under the solar

receiver.

Anchorage pins are cleverly designed to eliminate the possibility

of solid conduction of heat through the insulation.

SCUTTHERM® can also be used to protect the inside cavity of

the solar receiver.

Parabolic trough CSP Systems

Throughout our involvement in this market we have developed

several insulation solutions for Ball Joint Assemblies (BJAs) of

parabolic troughs.

Promat HPI now offers several BJA design solutions:

• Our original solution based on tailored fl exible jackets

incorporating MICROTHERM® OVERSTITCHED PANEL

• Our second generation system combining MICROTHERM® MPS

with an Alu Cladding.

• Our latest design solution utilising large size fl exible jackets to

protect recently developed fl exible ball joint hoses.

Advantages of a Promat HPI insulation solution for BJAs include:

• They allow rotational movement at the joint while controlling

loss of heat energy

• Increased plant efficiency by controlling heat losses

• Long lifetime

• Excellent passive fi re protection (PFP) material combined with

Alu foil internal - fi nishing helps to prevent fi re

• Leakages are quickly traceable

• Quickly removable for routine maintenance inspections.

Distribution pipe runs

The overall operational effi ciency of any solar power collection

system is directly related to the control of system energy losses.

Promat HPI insulation systems utilising moulded pipe sections

(MPS) for smaller diameters, and fl exible insulation products for

larger diameters, are fast to fit and totally cost effective when

compared to less effi cient conventional insulation products.

As our microporous insulation is easy to cut and shape on site,

diffi cult parts such as pumps and valves can be quickly and

effi ciently insulated to maintain a consistent thermal performance.

Pipe supports

Promat HPI offers simple solutions based on fl exible microporous

products for the insulation of pipe clamps. These give a number

of technical as well as economic advantages including:

• Reduced heat loss from thermal bridges through direct metal

contact

• Thinnest insulation keeping pipe clamps as compact as possible

• High compression resistance so the insulation thickness can

be maintained irrespective of the weight of the pipe load being

supported

• By reducing the temperature in the supports,

lower grade steel can be used reducing the cost
